Journey to the head

Chapter 44 Who are you (4.5k big chapter)

"I'm sure of it." Lu Qian said with a smile, "We can make a contract and swear a Taoist oath."

Zhou Chao sat down slowly: "That's fine, but the one-hundred-year lease is too long. I can only lend it to you for 50 years."

I'm not afraid of you bargaining, but I'm afraid that you won't lend it.

Lu Qian felt at ease, so what did it matter if it lasted 50 years?Going to Ningzhou Danxia Sect, the future is uncertain, so this first-level high-level spiritual vein can be used as a safety net.

A high-level one, just enough for Qi-training monks to break through to foundation building.If the Danxia Sect didn't get better results, they would lead a few people here to practice hard in seclusion.

In 50 years, he and Qingfeng Baitao might be able to break through the foundation building.Are you still afraid that you won’t be able to build a foundation in Cangzhou?
However, benefits cannot be given up easily.After a lot of push and pull between Lu Qian and Zhou Chao, they finally settled on a 77-year lease.

"Senior sister, bring me a pen and paper." Lu Gan nodded to Jiang Qingfeng. Qingfeng seemed to be waking up from a dream. He took out a pen and paper from his storage bag and brought it over.

After walking a few steps, I felt soft under my feet, and the pen and paper in my hand felt unreal.

Now, our Yunshan sect will have spiritual veins again?
Although it is rented, although it is only 77 years old, this is a spiritual vein!

She bit her lip and barely suppressed the excitement in her heart.

Lu Qian spread out his paper and pen, and using his spiritual power, he wrote down two copies of the contract.

The general content is as agreed just now. Lu Qian helps the Zhou family maintain their rule over Yuqing Mountain, and the Zhou family will lend Lu Qian the first-level high-level spiritual vein of Yuqing Mountain, as well as its ten-mile radius, for a period of time. From August 360, 25, the third year of Jiashen, to August 440, 25, Jiashen, a total of 77 years, and they will be returned as they are when they expire.If Lu Gan cannot do it, the contract will be invalid.

Both Lu Gan and Zhou Chao understood that after signing the agreement, Lu Gan would provide a way to help the Zhou family rule Yuqing Mountain for a long time, at least for 77 years.Otherwise, once Yuqing Mountain changes ownership, Lu Qian will not be able to continue to borrow spiritual veins.

At the end of the contract, you have to sign your name, and later you have to swear a Taoist vow with the contract, so you can no longer use a false name.

Lu Gan waved his wrist, signed the contract fairly, and said with a smile: "You have to be careful when you go out. The previous Qi Kun was just a pseudonym. My real name is Lu Gan. Please also ask Zhou Daoyou Haihan."

Zhou Chao understood it, checked it was correct, and signed his name.

The two stood opposite each other, adhering to the contract and swearing an oath of Taoism.

Lu Qian's consciousness moved, and he felt an inexplicable and indestructible aura wrapped around his spiritual roots, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant, causing cold sweat to break out in his back.

But Zhou Chao's expression remained normal and he sat down: "The oath has been made, what good plan does Fellow Daoist Lu have?"

Everyone listened attentively, and Xuanjizi was also full of curiosity.I knew before that Lu Qian valued spiritual veins very much, but now he finally got what he wanted. What did he do?What is your identity?
"The so-called strong enemies from outside, alienation from within, and isolation and helplessness, in the final analysis, is just a problem." Lu Gan took a sip of tea, "Foundation-building combat power. If the Zhou family can have two foundation-building combat capabilities, then the external enemies will naturally retreat, and alienation will Subdued, the vassal returns.”

Zhou Chao nodded repeatedly: "That's the truth, but my family doesn't have the money to hire a foundation-building Taoist priest."

Lu Gan smiled and said: "Who said that when you ask for help from Foundation Builder, you have to use spirit stones? Let me ask you, if your Yuqing Zhou family converts all the assets in the family, including the spirit veins, into spirit stones, what will the price be?"

"This...I have never thought about this. Besides, spiritual veins are priceless treasures. How to price them?" Although Zhou Chao didn't understand what he meant, he still thought hard, "That's right! It is said that 300 years ago, a spiritual vein was auctioned in Cangzhou. Pulse, how many were taken at that time..."

After calculating for a long time, Zhou Chao hesitated and said: "Spiritual veins, spiritual fields, spiritual medicine gardens, alchemy and talisman making workshops, various building materials... I think there are always 40 spiritual stones."

Lu Gan nodded: "Then let's calculate it as 40 spirit stones. If the assets of 40 spirit stones are divided into one hundred shares, then each share will be worth [-] spirit stones."

Several people nodded, and Lu Qian asked again: "How many spiritual stones should I pay to invite a guest in the middle stage of foundation building?"

Zhou Chao replied: "Ke Qing's annual salary is related to the work he is required to undertake. He only participates in the middle stage of foundation building for the defense of the sect. Generally, the annual salary is eight thousand spirit stones, and it must be paid in advance in one lump sum."

Lu Gan clapped his hands: "In that case, wouldn't it be enough to give him two shares among the hundred shares?"

Everyone was stunned, Zhou Chao was dumbfounded: "How can this be calculated like this? Those hundred shares are in kind, how can you give them to him?"

Lu Gan said slowly: "You sign a contract with him. The contract divides the Zhou family's total assets into one hundred shares, and he owns two of them. From now on, he is not only a guest, but also a shareholder of your Zhou family. Every year, he will be a shareholder of the Zhou family. Dividends will be withdrawn from the surplus of your Zhou family at a ratio of two-half. This share can be resold to others. If you want to sell it but cannot sell it, the Zhou family will redeem it at the market price after holding the shares for five years. But if you hold this share , only enjoys the ownership rights of assets and is not allowed to participate in the Zhou family’s decision-making.”

The amount of information contained in this string of words made Zhou Chao confused.Xuanjizi's consciousness was fully activated. He thought about it for a moment, but then he slapped his thigh: "Wonderful! How did you kid come up with this!"

After another cup of tea, Jiang Qingfeng relaxed his brows and smiled.Only Baitao listened to the scriptures and simply ignored these strange adults. He took out a bunch of candied haws from somewhere and started to chew them.

Finally, Zhou Chao came to his senses and asked doubtfully: "But my family is in decline now, and there is not much surplus every year. How can a two percent dividend be compared with the annual salary of eight thousand spiritual stones?"

Xuanjizi couldn't help but interject: "You blackhead, one is a servant with a salary, and the other is a boss with assets. Can it be the same? The salary may be gone at any time, but assets such as spiritual veins and fields never depreciate. The dividends will never be cut off. If he doesn't want it anymore, he can sell it to others or exchange it for the spirit stones in five years. Besides, the dividends are very small now. If he recruits more foundation builders to join the company and make it bigger and stronger, he is afraid of making a profit. Don’t have the money?”

Zhou Chao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and Lu Qian said again: "You don't have to worry about your family being in disaster. No Taoist priests are willing to buy shares. Your family's assets are still there. As long as you find two Taoist priests to buy shares, your family's crisis will be solved. Buy shares." The rights and interests of the Taoist priests are in turn protected, which is called mutual fulfillment. As long as you explain these principles clearly, there will always be Taoist priests who are willing to join forces and join in the business to create a future together."

"The Taoist priest who established the Foundation contributed his efforts, and the Zhou family gave him shares. This is called investing in shares with labor. If two shares are not enough, then five shares will do. If five shares are not enough, ten shares will always work." After a pause, Lu Gan added, "The worst For your plan, you can agree that as long as you hold more than ten shares, you can participate in the Zhou family's decision-making. But this is a big killer, and you can only resort to this if you have no other choice. "

Zhou Chaoyue thought about it, and the more he felt that this method was wonderful and extraordinary, and that it could produce many flexible changes in practical applications, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Seeing Lu Qian's confident look, he asked with great interest: "Then if the place is changed and Fellow Daoist Lu is in charge of Yuqing Mountain, will he also choose to invite the foundation-building Taoist priests to become shareholders?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Gan shook his head: "No, I will choose another method, but I'm afraid Zhou Daoyou can't learn it."

Zhou Chao straightened up: "Why do you say this?"

Lu Gan asked Qing Feng to spread out a map. It was a new map purchased from Meihuafang. It was very clear to more than a dozen counties in a radius of three thousand miles.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please see, Chongming County is here, and Yuqing Mountain is here." Lu Qian pointed at the center of Chongming County, and then nodded next to it, "The Xuanguang Sect Mountain Gate in charge of Chongming County is actually only a few kilometers away from Yuqing Mountain. Three hundred miles away.”

Zhou Chao nodded.Lu Gan drew a circle around Chongming County: "The Xuanguang Sect is so warlike, and the Jindan Sects in the surrounding counties are all his enemies. And his enemies must be happy to plant a secret weapon near the mountain gate of the Xuanguang Sect. chess."

Zhou Chao was startled, and a cold air rose from his tailbone.

Just listen to Lu Qian said: "Just like the Liyuan Sect of Sanshan County next door, if I secretly defect to them, they will definitely accept it happily. In order to ensure that my secret chess piece can be used at the critical moment, I must have someone to give it to me and money to give it to me right now." Money, just Chaoshengmen, what does it mean?"

Xuan Jizi and Jiang Qingfeng stared at the map, dumbfounded.Although Lu Gan had been refreshing their understanding, it was only at this moment that they suddenly realized that Lu Gan's thinking was far beyond their imagination.He is like a chess player overlooking the chessboard, always able to break through the fog and make a miraculous move in desperate situations.

Zhou Chao stared at Lu Qian in shock, feeling like his two sides were fighting.

crazy!too crazy!
A mere Qi-training monk actually plotted against the Jindan Sect!The key to this strategy is that it sounds really tempting!
No, no, the efforts of five generations of the Zhou family cannot be risked.

In the silence, Lu Gan suddenly smiled: "It's just a joke, you don't need to take it seriously. There are too many things to consider with this method. It is like drinking poison to quench thirst. If you are not careful, you will become a puppet of other Jindan sects."

Zhou Chao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the little things he had known since he met Lu Qian came to his mind. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he asked loudly: "Fellow Daoist Lu is extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. The overall plan in his words is definitely beyond the reach of a casual cultivator." .Who is this fellow Taoist?"

Lu Qian pondered for a moment, looked around, reached out and took off the mask on his face.

But I saw the young man's sword-shaped eyebrows were high, his eyes were like stars, and he was smiling.

Jiang Qingfeng knew what he meant, and could no longer contain the excitement in his heart.

She stood next to Lu Gan and said loudly: "This is the leader of my Yunshan Sect!"

Hearing this, Xuanjizi was shocked, his eyes were blank, and he murmured: "That's it, that's it..."

When Zhou Chao heard this, he was shocked. He stood up and bowed in salute: "It turns out that the leader of a faction showed disrespect to his face."

Lu Qian returned the courtesy with a smile, said "please", and the two sat down again.

Zhou Chao quickly asked: "Where did Master Lu come from? And why do you want to borrow my family's spiritual veins?"

Jiang Qingfeng was a little nervous when she heard Lu Gan say calmly: "My sect is far away in Qingzhou, thousands of miles away from here. I just passed by Meihuafang and wanted to take the Wind Control Beast to Haidong County in Ningzhou. I’m going to pay a visit to my elder, Master Akabane of the Danxia Sect.”

Zhou Chao was filled with envy when he heard that Lu Qian actually had a golden elixir elder. Finding a station will also make it convenient for me to send disciples here to do things. Don’t worry, fellow Taoist Zhou, is it possible that I left my own mountain gate alone and moved my disciples here?"

Zhou Chao's heart dropped. The two exchanged a few words and then began to discuss the sect affairs. Lu Gan spoke eloquently, and Zhou Chao felt that he had benefited a lot, was greatly impressed, and all doubts in his heart were gone.

He thought to himself that although Lu Qian himself was not high in cultivation, he was highly intelligent and must not be an ordinary person. He might be the descendant who had been carefully trained by Master Jin Dan.And that Yunshan Sect must be a chess piece dropped by Jindan Zhenren tens of thousands of miles away.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense, hiss, Master Jin Dan is so resourceful and terrifying!
Lending spiritual veins to the Yunshan Sect, doesn't it mean that the Yunshan Sect is tied to his own chariot?Wonderful!Wonderful!
So he asked: "I wonder what the size of your sect is?"

Lu Qian raised his hand to signal him to use the tea: "I have hundreds of disciples and two foundation-building elders. Unfortunately, they are all thousands of miles away. Water from far away cannot quench the thirst of those close by. We can only deal with the disaster of Chaosheng Sect by ourselves. ”

Jiang Qingfeng's face felt hot.But Zhou Chao nodded repeatedly.

Yes, for him to be able to command a formation cultivator who is close to the perfection of Qi training at the middle stage of Qi training, he must be relying on Master Jindan.

Xuanjizi sneezed.

Lu Gan said that the Yunshan Sect has two foundation-building elders, and they must have been appointed by Master Jindan.No wonder he dared to plot against the Jindan Sect just now!

Hey, my ancestors didn’t work hard, so why don’t my family have any elders like Zhenren Jindan?

After chatting for a few more words, Zhou Chao stood up and left. He couldn't wait to practice the "shareholding system" that Lu Gan mentioned.

So the two parties agreed to meet in front of the Crane Tower at noon five days later, and then go to Yuqing Mountain together.

The spiritual pulse is of great importance and cannot be lost. He must go there in person to ensure that the Zhou family is safe and sound.Even if he has to fight against the Foundation-Building Taoist Priest, as long as he can open up a large formation and work closely with Xuan Jizi to use the triple transformation, he should be able to hold on for a while.

Just as Lu Qian was thinking this and raised his head, his eyes met Xuan Jizi who was smiling but not smiling.

"Boy Lu, Master Lu, it's so hard for you to hide this from me."

"Mr. Zhou, listen to my explanation. I also have my own reasons."

"I don't listen. I don't listen. After all, I made the wrong payment."

Xuanjizi sighed forlornly: "Boy Lu, everything is clear now. Since you can't accept me as your teacher, there's no point in me staying here. Let's go now."

After saying that, the old Taoist priest turned around and left.

Baitao blinked her big eyes and shouted, "Grandpa, where are you going?"

Xuanjizi suddenly froze there.

Lu Qian stood in front of the door and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, where are you going?"

Yes, I guess I have already registered at Shengyimen and will not be able to go back to Qingzhou.In the vast world, where can I go as an old man with only ten years left to live?Who else is more suitable to pass on my life's hard work to this bastard?

Seeing Lu Qian in front of him, he bowed and said sincerely: "Mr. Zhou, although I can't do the ritual of becoming a disciple, I have already treated you as a teacher in my heart. Think about it, I am the head of Yunshan, if you take what you have learned in your life Teach it to me, and your formation method will spread in the Yunshan Sect and be passed down from generation to generation, never ending. Your name will also remain in the Yunshan Sect's inheritance jade slip forever. Revered by generations to come.”

Xuanjizi snorted, and then heard Lu Qian said: "Moreover, I would like to ask you to be the guest elder of our sect. If you definitely want to accept a disciple, in the future, whoever you like among the disciples of our sect will be asked to become your disciple." ,Okay?"

At this moment, Xuanjizi's arms warmed up, and it turned out that Baitao was hugging him tightly: "Grandpa, don't leave. You promised me that you would take me to play a lot of fun places and eat a lot of delicious food."

Xuanjizi's eyes passed over the three people in the room.

The lovely Taotao, the gentle Qingfeng, and this cunning and shameless boy...

He suddenly laughed: "Boy Lu, how many years are you going to pay me as a guest elder?"

　This chapter was written in one go. It was very difficult to break down. No matter how you break it down, it was almost meaningless. So I just wrote it as a big chapter of 4.5k. I hope you readers will like it.From now on, Lu Gan finally no longer has to pretend and can proudly introduce himself: "I am the leader of the Yunshan Sect, Lu Gan!"
